Tools for chocolate lava cakes
These are the tools the Chocolate lava cakes recipe itself calls for, and what each one does in it. We don't own, use or test these products ourselves, so nothing here is a personal recommendation.
Four 6-ounce ramekins
What the recipe uses it for: The cakes bake in them, sprayed and cocoa-dusted (steps 1 and 5).
What to look for: 6 ounces each. The recipe also allows half of a 12-cup muffin pan.
Heat-proof bowl
What the recipe uses it for: Melts the butter and chocolate in the microwave (step 2).
What to look for: Medium, microwave-safe.
Baking sheet
What the recipe uses it for: Carries the ramekins in the oven (step 5).
What to look for: Any sheet that fits four ramekins.
Oven mitt
What the recipe uses it for: Holds the hot ramekin for the flip (step 7).
What to look for: One that covers the hand fully.
